The Education UK Exhibition is back, with the biggest number of participating institutions in recent times – forty three UK universities and colleges. The exhibition opens to the public at The Indera Samudra Grand Hall 3, Empire Hotel & Country Club on Wednesday 12 February from 2pm to 7pm.

British High Commissioner, David Campbell, said: “We are delighted that the UK remains the preferred overseas destination for Bruneian students. The Education UK Exhibition provides a great opportunity to discover more about the huge range of courses available in the UK. There will also be practical guidance on student living and top tips on writing personal statements and future employability.”

Representatives of institutions participating in the exhibition will be on hand to offer advice to students on a wide range of topics: courses, fees, accommodation – every aspect of studying in the UK. The exhibition seeks to serve as a one-stop-shop for future scholars. Experts from the Ministry of Education, including the Scholarship Unit and the National Accreditation Council, will be there to guide visitors on procedures for applying for scholarships. CfBT Education Services will also be present, to help with queries about the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) – that or another certificate of proficiency in English is an entry requirement for UK Universities. Information will also be available about the visa application process. The British Council will be present to assist with applications and pre-departure information.

Seminars will flow concurrently with the exhibition enabling participants to drop in on in-depth presentations from different institutions. These will focus on topics of general interest, such as “How to Write a Winning Personal Statement”; “Employability – Making the most of your study in the UK”; and “Studying Environmental Science”. These seminars are open to all visitors – with prizes on offer to those who complete a feedback survey, and a chance to win a surprise gift for all those attending.
